On this episode, we share a few more additions to the build.
Starting with our portable twin induction cooktop; Ange tries it for the first time cooking brekkie and was very impressed!
We chose this unit as it was affordable, relatively energy efficient and portable.
We are however still on a hunt for the best portable gas cooker for our outdoor kitchen - any recommendations appreciated!
We also share with you Chris' wiring progress with our 2600w Enerdrive inverter - coming up soon: the DC2DC charger and solar!
Finally, after listening to your feedback, we make some changes on our diesel heater set up and show you our new 10L diesel heater tank.
Key message from this week; it's not all rainbows and butterflies! It's important to celebrate every little victory and not get overwhelmed by big projects!

You two are sweet with each other. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, it's great to see you taking on every challenge and we're all learning as you go.
Thank you very much Bob for taking the time to write such an encouraging comment, much appreciated!
The humility you both display with regards the build is what makes your channel very appealing. Keep up the great work, it is truely inspirational.
Thank you very much John! We really don't want anyone to think a build like this is easy without any experience - glad you appreciate our transparency. Hopefully from now on, everything goes smoothly :) Thank you for the support!
Props to Brendon Tait, super smart fella. You two did well to get in touch with him!
👍 Great progress guys, everything looks top notch. It’s very nice how you consistently acknowledge and thank the people that offer their assistance 👍🇺🇸
Keep going guys, you’re making excellent progress and it is all coming together. When it gets too much, re-watch one of your earlier videos in the series and remind yourselves just how far you have come. Always helps to put today’s issue into perspective. Lecture over!
Thank you so much for your kind words. That is a great idea, we tend to forget all the work we have already done. Thank you for the support!
You guys are so talented and your teamwork is paying off.
Thank you so much, that is a really nice compliment! Thank you for following along :)
Such a good job with the electrical system - one of the hardest things to take on and do well if you aren't a Pro. I know from experience how stressful and complicated that would have been. That's a massive milestone to get to the stage you are with it! Let alone all the other things you are organising and fitting at the same time. .
Thank you very much Robert - Chris has worked really hard to do things right & a lot of research - very proud of what we have achieved! Looking forward to smashing the rest of the build :) Thanks for the support!
You are both legends. . . . . The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer. . . . . 🤙keep smiling
Just remember all of your followers appreciate the effort you two put into everything hope your feeling better keep it up.
Thank you for the reminder Anthony, we really appreciate you taking the time to encourage us!
Awesome, honest content, support and understanding each task is essential as is support and understanding each other
Thank you for your ongoing support Sean - always appreciate reading your comments!
@@TheOutFit no problem, love that you reply, shows the calibre of people you are
Yep Brendan is a very smart cookie and fellow kiwi
another great video. You guys make a great team, what a build you are putting together. I can see the end now unlike when you started and it looks fantastic. But, you might need to consider cooking that chook.!
Thanks a lot Daniel, means a lot! Crazy to think just 5 months ago this camper was completely empty - thank you for following along!
Your both doing a fantastic job of the Mog, I love your attention to detail...
Love you guys ❣️❣️
Thank you for all your encouraging comments, means a lot, especially in times like this!
@@TheOutFit you're so close to finishing it, well you will never really finish it, and then your next adventure begins. I can't wait to meet you guys in real life and give you both a big cuddle...
Might sound weird but you inspire me and my wife to get out there and see this beautiful place we live in.
More solid progress guys, well done! On a big project like this overwhelm is understandable and it is so good to see you are being honest about it and supporting each other. Keep up the great work :-)
Thank you very much Rose for your comment! Hope you are both well and we can meet somewhere in the bush once our build is over :)
I've had a weber Q which is the medium size. For durability, I bought it in 2003 and had to buy 2 new grill plates, it starts the first time every time and it did have 3 years outside with no cover. It is a bit different in the way you cook, with the lid down. I don't know the size you have to work with but they have a Baby Q which is quite small. Also, it cooks a wide variety like pizzas, roasts, as well as normal grills, I did a cake in it once. There are now a good variety of similar styles in other brands, all a little pricey but I think mine will last another 18 years so probably worth It.
By the way, your work looks as good as anything professional I've seen. You're getting there a lot quicker than I thought you would and you make a great team.
Yep I agree with you. Baby Q is what I have. With solid and grill plates.
Sooo much work . Well done 👍🏿 you guys are killing it
Thanks a lot for watching Terry!
did you consider mounting the battery isolation switch, away from anything that could be on fire, so you can get to it in an emergency?
Good luck guys. Keep up the hard work and it always gets hard when the end is in sight🤘
Thanks Laine! Looking forward to our first night in the Mog and catching up with you in the bush :)
Looking great!
another awesome episode peoples . The fact you are both truly humble and will take advice from the armchair youtubas is great , so a big thumbs up from me ( No 76 )
Thanks a lot Bob - there are some great advice from our subscribers so that's awesome to learn thanks to them.
Great work guys, like you said at the end do one job at a time. I remember when I was restoring my car it got a bit overwhelming and I'd end up doing nothing and lost a bit of inspiration, even though I used to restore classic vehicles for a living. Once I said to myself take one small job at a time and do a bit everyday, even if it was just for an hour, it really came together.
Thank you Tony! Glad to hear we are not the only ones feeling this way. It's definitely a great way to tackle big overwhelming projects :)
Another great episode guys 👍
I'm pretty late to your channel, and am really enjoying the build story.
18:20 I 100% agree about Brendan Tait... he's a genius!
I’ve tried a few 2 burner gas stoves and at the end settled on a Primus 2 burner deluxe stove. Main reasons: flames are far enough apart to fit two large pots, and it’s one of the very few camp stoves where you can actually adjust the heat granularly. Bought 7 years ago - still going strong.
You are both doing an amazing job. Please look after yourselves.
Thanks for watching Jude!
Great episode guys. Know the feeling of slow progress weeks. Had plenty of those on my build too. It will be all worth when you look back and thing wow we did all of that.
Thank you very much for watching - hopefully not too much longer! As you say, it will be all worth it :)
Kept it up guys your doing a great job love the channel I have some ideas for your awning that I will pass on when I have more time great job guys
Keep on truckin' guys! Love the saying "you gotta eat an elephant in bite size chunks"
Totally applicable throughout life's challenges.
I reckon you're doing an amazing job and I can only just try and imagine what must go on behind the scenes. . . . .
You've obviously had a lot of challenges to face and the road must seem like it will go on forever but it won't so as you've said just break it down and be realistic with (and not too hard on) yourselves and just keep chipping away at that elephant and it will all come together before you know it 👌👍😎
Thanks a lot Ben for taking the time to write such a nice comment and reminding us to not be too hard on ourselves - that is a very good point. Thanks for watching!
Hey Guys please check the rules around 230v in a mobile vehicle for WA. For example in NSW you need to switch the active and neutral cables at the same time and earthing the chassis (check your inverter instructions for that as it's got the RCD and any additional earth points could interfere with it's safety operation). DC cabinet looks great!
Doing a great job. I can so relate to the overwhelming thing, its how I'm feeling right now with my build. I'm finding it really difficult especially for getting things for the build in a decent timeframe. Everything is either run out or on order, with wait times of 4 months or more! Its driving me crazy.
Thanks Omar! It's definitely getting harder to source things and all deliveries take longer. It's really hard to plan ahead to purchase things but do it as much as you can and store them if you are able to do so. So that the day you need it, you have it and you can work straight away!
@@TheOutFit good idea. It’s sort of dawned on me over the weekend. That that is what I need to do.
CHRIS, HI you will have been the very first person to have installed a diesel heater in side! There all installed under thr vehicle, only the control & heating duct enter the vehicle. CHERIO🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your van is looking amazing!! Well done Guys!! And I have previously watched Brendon's videos. They are really good.
Thanks as always Joseph!
You guys are going to take your Mog overseas! Omg I’m so jealous! Are you going to just drive him thru the Torres straight with an extra long snorkel 😁 hey just a heads up, you probably already know, all those induction cooktops turn on and off at max power. So when it says 200w, it’s actually an average over time. I just went thru 4 different ones trying to find one that actually pulled 200w. None do. Just means you’ll have to be aware of what else you have on if you’re running both cookers. Not long now guys! Watching every episode ✌️
Thanks Tymon! That was always our main goal/dream to go overseas, hence upgrading to the Mog :) Fingers crossed we can make it happen once we have finished touring Australia! Good to know about the induction cooktop - which one are you running now?
Hi Ange and Chris, you both look exhausted!
Any progress is good. I'm restoring a Torana and it's been almost three years with another two to go. Try writing a list (which I'm sure you do) of tasks to complete, this will give you motivation as you tick them off.
Beautiful work with the lights and doors. You're getting there! One mouthful at a time.
Marty & Sal from Perth
Thank you so much Marty & Sal! Always appreciate reading your comments. Hopefully we can relax for Christmas and finish the last jobs in the new year and finally hit the road :)
Don’t be hard on yourselves, all you can do is tackle each hurdle 1 at a time.
My only suggestion would be to place isolation switch away from circuit board to allow the ability to shut off without exposing yourself to possible hazards. You don’t need a long run, just somewhere at the door entry so you can shut it down & also a good idea to have extinguisher in same location.
Also have a look at Westinghouse portable induction cooktops as I have single unit & twin unit. They are a better quality induction than majority & slimmest on the market
Otherwise great job 👍
Thank you for your recommendations! We'll definitely buy a fire extinguisher for inside the camper. We heard about the Westinghouse induction cooktop but read some bad reviews so we decided against it - maybe we'll upgrade in the future! Cheers for watching!
thank you for share your detailed video as do great job
love the overhead cabinet guys, the little diesel tank should be great mounted on the mudguard I reckon. Don't stress your perceived level of progress to please the audience or anyone guys. I can tell you that i was injured and can no longer do mainstream work but every day i try to complete a task or learn something new, hence my Rock and Gem addiction and general mechanical tinkering. So long as you achieved or learnt each day then life is as it should be. There is a definite downturn in RUclips audience numbers it seems so managing an unknown and irregular income stream with a big build project must be stressful to say the least. Wishing you nothing but viral videos and happy days ahead. See you next time.
Thank you for your encouraging words, that is very nice of you! We are looking forward to sharing more entertaining and quality videos, thanks for following along!
Check library's around your area, you can get a plug that measures devices power consumption, that way you can test on mains and workout battery consumption.
Just a reminder that in Australia you must get your 230 volt wiring done by a licensed electrician.
Have a chat with them to find what you are able to do before they finish and test the job.
Also orange wiring is for high voltages, not 12 volts.
I like the cheapie $20 units from kmart - the heat is excellent, they take little space and just use those aerosol type canisters you get 4 for $5. Very portable, light and small.
Hello guys great progress.
I’m one of yours reguler and have question if you could provide me advice and this will be chance to find correct material.
I wish to know more about material for your cabinet’s doors. Looks to me you are using marine plywood about 18mm and is laminated. Which will be great to have in my MOG project. Question is are you laminate and cut by yourself or getting from local supplier.
Greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you Victor for following along!
The wood we use is 12mm birch plywood core and overlaid with a melamine film on both faces - hope you manage to source some, very good product to work with.
@@TheOutFit thank you for information, that will help me to look in to this direction.
Not sure on your space but we’ve got a Cadac Safari and it’s fantastic for cooking on. Great video as usual, stay safe, stay well.👍
good vid ,keep up the good vids thanks lee
I have the HyperFlame FyreKnight which has been brilliant as it works perfectly in windy conditions. No wind shelter panels required. But I am about to go total electric, except for a Jetboil style small stove for boiling water and as a back up. Say goodbye to heavy gas bottles.
That's the one we wanted but doesn't quite fit by a few cms - frustrating! We saw in the US they have a new Jetboil dual-burner model that looks good.
Another great episode! Please don't forget to install a good quality dual-sensor smoke alarm and CO2 detector! Cheers!
Thanks as always Bryon! We'll do :)
You doing a great job ,may I suggested you mount the exhaust pipe for the heater external on veh.
I remember saying months ago to you brendon Taitt was the man to talk to his mog build was great.
Hi Guys
I'm still enjoying watching your build. Good progress so far keep it up. I was curious. You future proofed the living space for the possibility of a child but have you thought about making mounting points in the cab for a baby capsule/ seat? It maybe difficult to do without the workshop and on the road if a little surprise comes along.
Trevor
Thank you very much Trevor! We have brainstormed the mounting points in the cab but decided to not do it quite yet as it's not the main priority right now and it might take up too much space at first. We'll see how we go once we finish the build, as you say we have all the tools we need right now.
Hey for the outdoor kitchen have you considered an electric grill like Unidan install on their Mogs? Check their videos, super smart, they use an electric sandwich press that can be used as a double grill when fully open.
Yes.. I like electrical system in your camper
What pan were you cooking with. It had the detachable handle
Don’t think those blue wash clothes will do as curtains 😂
Its really interesting seeing the comparison between your approach and JP Adventures19. They are doing everything with steel and welding themselves. But it is taking a lot longer I think.
Yes that's interesting to see different approaches! We are very happy with our decision to choose FRP panels & aluminium as our main construction materials.
@@TheOutFit And yours will definitely be a lot lighter. I wonder how much difference it will make to off road ability and fuel consumption?
@@heartobefelt Reckon it will be that much? I guess it depends how much driving they are doing. i t will also make a difference in shipping costs to get the truck to different countries overseas.
First bit of corrugation, everything that you glued will come flying in the camper.. including your max trax
Your not a dum ass Chris, you just not knowledgeable in electrical works.
Great video yet again guys, thanks
He is a legend
Thanks guys🇦🇺✌️🦘😎👍
What about the gas stove Andrew from 4xoverland uses and talks very highly about..
Or Why not induction outside, bonus is it's not effected by wind.
Cheers keep up the good work
Except Andrew is not the best person to be taking advice from, in my opinion.
Your cupboard doors will not stay latched on rough roads! You need push button type catches … as used in off-road caravans and the marine industry
If you are using a “fiberglass” exhaust wrap, soak it in a bucket of water before you wrap it.
Time to start buying Tubeless wheels guys .
Partner Steel stoves!
Don’t focus on being low wattage for energy efficiency…my need a certain amount of heat to cook, a lower heat (wattage) will take longer, match it to your inverter output.
Following your project from Canada with great interest!: just for fun, english not being my first language: the lady in the video doesn't have the same accent as the gentleman: what is her origin?
Thank you very much for following along all the way from Canada! I'm French :)
@@TheOutFit Glad to read that! Your english is quite good to my ear, but I love the little "accent" behind it: looking forward watching the rest of your build project!
Je ne sais pas si vous l'avez fait lors de précédentes vidéos mais il serait intéressant que vous nous racontiez ce qui a amené une française si loin de chez-elle!
Oy, Oy, Oy BABBY!! One more flawless informative and chicken shit fun episode. ¡¡PURA VIDA!! You look a little sick... Are you doing good?
Love your work guys...but theres one thing that keeps annoying me...the fridge...and the door opeing the wrong way....its triggering me....it will annoy you so much...if you can you should get it sorted now....just sayin...keep up the good work
dag lieve mensen jij bent echt een artiest daar droom ik ook van zal zeer mooie unimog worden groeten van Belgie Patrick Panchito Peggy
Guys, how much does this all weigh?
Brendan Tait? Christchurch?
Any relation to Robin Tait?
Chris, 240 volt refrigerators take approximately 7 times their running watts to start efficiently, refrig should ALWAYS be the first appliance started. Personally do NOT believe that 2600 watts will be sufficient for your needs!!
Hey Merv, depends on the type of motor. The old school split phase start compressor pulls a lot of power on start (even so.. it wouldn't be an issue with decent sized inverter). The starting power from an inverter fridge is negligible compared with its running current.
If you want to see a crazy chicken throw an empty egg shell at its feet. Chickens need alot of calcium and the shell helps it. Anyhow enough useless information. I wish I was your age again. I will tell you something, STOP STRESSING ABOUT US, it is your life. You are honoring us with sharing a little of it with us. Sometimes you guys need to take a break and give yourselves some alone time. Believe me I don't know how my Wife has lasted 19 years. I have only just realized I need to give her more time. Please be careful and make sure that the both of you come first and RUclips second. I am still wondering about the baby bath though! 🤣
Good video, but I feel you will get very annoyed at the fans on that induction stovetop. My god that thing is loud. They do make ones which don’t sound like that…but they cost more. I understand trying out keep costs down, but if a unit is to annoying and you don’t use it…that’s money wasted. 10L for your heater seems small, but maybe you won’t use it that much in Australia. Live confidently and peacefully
🇿🇦♥️♥️
Dude what’s up with the facial hair? You look like a movie bad guy
*Please* do your own research on HOW, induction cooking increases your exposure to high levels of EMF radiation.
Your both doing a fantastic job of the Mog, I love your attention to detail...
Love you guys ❣️❣️
